The Pavilion at Ole Miss Set to Host Rebels vs Bryant Bulldogs in Men's Basketball

As the Ole Miss Rebels gear up to host the Bryant Bulldogs at The Pavilion at Ole Miss, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an electrifying game of basketball. The Rebels have been on a notable trajectory, and their recent performances suggest that they are poised to deliver yet another thrilling encounter.


Southern Miss Golden Eagles VS Ole Miss Rebels

In their last outing on December 17 against the California Golden Bears, the Rebels showcased a robust offensive display, securing an 88-78 victory. Their shooting was particularly impressive; they hit 52 percent from the field and an exceptional 57 percent from beyond the arc. This level of accuracy from long range could spell trouble for any defense, including that of the Bulldogs.


The defensive prowess of MISS cannot be overlooked either. With six blocks and nine steals against CAL, they've demonstrated their ability to disrupt opponents' play effectively. Moreover, their assist-to-turnover ratio stood at a commendable 2.63 – indicative of smart ball-handling and teamwork.


On December 10 against UCF Knights in Orlando, despite being away from home comforts, MISS managed a narrow win with a scoreline of 70-68. It wasn't just about scoring; it was about resilience too – turning over possession fifteen times but still managing to edge out UCF by maintaining composure during crucial moments.


Earlier this month on December 6 at The Pavilion itself – which will serve as an advantage come game day – MISS faced Mount St. Mary's Mountaineers and emerged victorious with a score of 77-68. That night saw them capitalize on turnovers by scoring eighteen points off them while also dominating fast-break points with eighteen compared to MSM's mere two.


While much focus is rightly placed on MISS's capabilities, it would be remiss not to consider what BRY brings to the court. They're not opponents who can be taken lightly; any lapse in concentration could give BRY just enough room to swing momentum in their favor.


MISS fans should expect their team’s high-octane offense and stringent defense to set the tone once again when they face BRY on December 31st at The Pavilion at Ole Miss in Oxford. With tip-off scheduled for late afternoon local time (4:00 PM CST), supporters should mark their calendars for this year-end showdown that promises fireworks.


For those unable to attend in person, you won't have to miss out on any action as you can catch every dribble and dunk live on SEC Network channel number 611 or through your preferred streaming service provider offering SEC Network coverage.
